Abstract Conceptualization
Abstract Conceptualization is a learning process where individuals develop ideas and theories based on their experiences. It involves reflecting on what has been learned and forming general principles or concepts that can be applied to new situations. This stage is crucial for understanding complex ideas and making connections between different pieces of information.
In David Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory, Abstract Conceptualization is one of the four stages of learning. It follows the Concrete Experience stage, where learners engage in hands-on activities. By analyzing their experiences, learners can create mental models that help them interpret future experiences and enhance their problem-solving skills.
